Gamble Sands

Gamble Sands is a resort golf destination in Washington featuring two championship 18-hole courses designed by David McLay Kidd. The original Gamble Sands course was named Golf Digest's Best New Public Course and is characterized as a firm, fast masterpiece built on sandy soil with fescue grasses that demands creativity and engagement. The newer Scarecrow course earned the same prestigious award in its opening season and offers similarly challenging conditions on firm, fast terrain.

The resort encompasses multiple golf experiences: the 14-hole Quicksands short course, also designed by Kidd, emphasizing fun and creativity; and Cascades, an elaborate putting course inspired by the Himalayas at St. Andrews with views of the Columbia River. The courses are set on sandy terrain with demanding playing conditions that reward shot-making and strategy. The resort includes 77 luxury rooms at The Inn, overlooking the Columbia River and golf holes, plus dining options including Danny Boy restaurant and The Barn, positioned to take advantage of views of the 18th green.
